Near Hentai Studio Tour – “Hungry” Version

It sadly took me over a year to put everything together, but finally the complete “Hungry” version of Near Hentai Studio Tour is complete. This update includes the latter half of the planned Food Court characters, meaning the Food Court is now a pretty busy place with a lot of characters. Added in this version are Wendy, Beast Boy, A-ko, Ron Stoppable, Roxy and Chica, plus a new strip club scene. Each of the new interactive characters works at a stall in the Food Court, so you’ll have to meet them there before being able to find them outside of work.
The next update I have planned will focus on just one character, but will be structured very different than previous versions. I don’t know yet exactly how it’ll go as far as development time, but my hope is I’ll be able to get it out faster than this one. We’ll see, though, so no promises.

Carmella Creeper

Carmella Creeper is a new character made for the General Mills line of monster-themed cereals that I expect most people are at least a little familiar with. For thirty-five years the monster line-up has been Count Chocula, Franken Berry, and Boo Berry (the main three we see around Halloween every year), as well as the mostly discontinued Frute Brute and Yummy Mummy. This year they added Carmella, a caramel apple zombie DJ girl. I’m not personally a huge fan of the design, ’cause she feels way too different from her boomer compatriots, but in a vacuum I think she’s fine. I wanted to squeeze out one simple pic with her for Halloween this year to celebrate, ’cause even if I think she feels out of place I still think it’s cool to see a new monster cereal mascot be introduced. I can’t say if she’ll show up again, but I’m happy with this little pic of her at least.

Wendy NHML

Is this a vanilla frosty?
The Near Hentai Monthly Lady for April is Wendy’s mascot… Wendy. Wendy got a lot of fanart back when Wendy’s Twitter became a bit of a meme, with people ascribing the Twitter’s sassy attitude to an anime bratty version of the character. Even though that trend is pretty dead by now, I decided to lean into that interpretation of the character a bit for this pic. I thought her getting gangbanged by, I presume, Wendy’s patrons sounded kinda fun.
With this post, NHML nominations for the month of May are now open. For those who don’t know, I’ll run down the rules real quick. Nominations are limited to one per person. You can nominate any female character you want, provided I have not drawn her within the past calendar year (though I prefer characters I’ve never drawn, period). Previous NHML winners are not eligible for a second time. Nominees must also not be from the same franchise as this month’s winner, although I guess that’s not really an issue this time around. If you violate any of those rules, I’ll let you know, and you can nominate someone else. I know it can be hard to keep track of these things. You may nominate by either commenting in the cBox, commenting on this post, or emailing me (Nearphotison2010@yahoo.com). I’ll compile a list of the nominees in the sidebar of this site, and then on May 1st I will use a randomizer to select the winning character who I will proceed to draw sometime that month. I look forward to seeing who you all nominate this time around!

Mission Bad End

So yesterday I posted an old Erin Esurance picture of mine, and now today you guys get to see my 2016 approach to the character. I considered attempting the vector-like approach of the commercials again (as I did before), but decided instead that I would rather give my own spin to her design. This is a lot closer, I think, to the style I used for my old Eromugen comic. I don’t think of myself as having a style all my own, but I suppose if I did it would be something like this.

I’m honestly surprised I haven’t drawn Erin more than I have; I suppose it’s due to her commercials not airing anymore. I just don’t think about her as often, even though when they were airing I was obsessed with her. One of the reasons I chose to draw her way back when I was first starting out was because I had a huge crush on her, but there wasn’t much porn released yet (at least, not much I cared for). That’s changed since then, and a lot of talented artists have given their take on her. I would like to draw her again someday, maybe try crossing her over with Totally Spies or Kim Possible (or both?).

DTiberius – Jennifer Hale Tribute

I love crossovers (shock and awe, amirite?), so when I came across this pic by DTiberius I absolutely had to color it. For those not in the know, Jennifer Hale is a very talented voice actress. Supposedly these are all characters that she’s voiced, although I’m pretty sure Erin Esurance was voiced by Mo Mellady, but what do I know. Either way, I definitely had a blast coloring this one.
